Diogo Strausz - Emancipacao Extended

Following on last year’s standout 7” release from Diogo Strausz, RNT now reveals the incredible extended mixes of the original pair of tunes, along with a strikingly beautiful remix of the title track by the inimitable Ron Trent. Originally conceived by the Brazilian producer to be long form songs that showcased the deep musicianship of Strausz and his cohorts, extended organ and piano solos and instrumentation now stretch out in all their jazzy glory across one side of a heavyweight 180g 12”.

On the the A-side, Ron Trent takes Emancipação positively interstellar, with added instrumentation and mounting percussion that builds toward a soulful and hypnotic peak, the way only he can do!


Emancipação:
Drums by Patrick Laplan. Moog, organ, electric piano by Rafael Vernet. Sequences and bass by Diogo Strausz. Mixed by Fred Deces.

50 Anos Em:
Grand piano by Rafael Vernet. Sequences, bass, congas, wurlitzer by Diogo Strausz. Additional production by Antoine Gaillet. Mixed by Diogo Strausz and Fred Deces.

Remix and additional production by Ron Trent.
